clothes before you can make an appearance in
Washington society?'
"Why, what's the matter with your" said Tom to
the Congressman. II was up IN your county the
other day with the same tOggery aboard, and they
were going to shoot me for a dude"
''Thats all right ut home," said the congressman
"but it's very different here you know Look at
this" and the congressman took from mis- wardrobe
in his lodging nice new evening dress suit.
"Great jupiter" exclaimed the new arrival
amazed at the extraordinary cut Of the thing; "and
what do you intend 10 do with that"
The congressman explained that personally he
was as much opposed 10 foppery and conyentonalty
anybody, but that the word had lately come from
Texas that the representatives Of the Lone Star
state must lick the best Of them in the matter Of
style at Washington, in consequence Of which every
Texan now in Washington has provided himself
with IN evening dress including diamond studs aud
patent leather pumps that viii take the shine out Of
